Oheka Castle & Estate, Huntington, New York

Philanthropist Otto Hermann Kahn built this French-style castle, which is about an hour from Manhattan, as his private residence in the early 1900s. Brides couldn't be happier. Offering grand European ambiance and 117 rooms, the now-hotel makes for a dreamy wedding venue. Celebration of all sizes can be accommodated here thanks to its many rooms. And for the photo shoot, there are acres of lawn, formal gardens, ponds and statuary.
